To compare.... the crazy Manchester City deal was nearly 500 million euros for a 10 extension of the shirt sponsorship, stadium naming rights, as well as naming rights for the newly training ground that is being developed that will be just across the stadium.......

Paris Saint-Germain is in advanced talks about a huge sponsorship deal with a bank of ... Qatar. According to AFP, the financial institution would be willing to invest between 350 and 400 million euros over the next four years, including replacing Fly Emirates, whose contract runs until 2014, ... 3.5 million per year.

These new investors would like to especially be the next shirt sponsor PSG next season and also consider an operation of "naming" the Parc des Princes. This massive influx would in any case the capital club to get in good standing with the financial fair play and especially extend its economic power. But for the moment, "no comment" on the part of leaders in Paris. (With AFP)

So does the group that own PSG also have an ownership stake/board seat with the Bank of Qatar?

Not much info is know about this Qatari bank.

Doing some research on wikipedia (unreliable I know), Qatar National Bank (QNB) is owned by Qatar Investment Authority (owners of PSG) (50%) and a private sector (50%.) So that is one potential bank. But, in the end we still don't know which Qatari bank though. I'm sure they'll find a way around it though. Let's be honest.

Let's remember that the sponsor from Etihad Airways (which is owned by some family member of Sheikh Mansour) was able to be successful in UEFA eyes._________________

Going from 3.5m per year with Emirates Airlines (which, is a bit low but as far as I know the most any of the huge clubs get is like 25-million) to 100-million a year from the Bank of Qatar..

I thought UEFA would treat this like Man City's Ethiad sponsorship and only recognize the average market value of the deal (based on the higher sponsor earners) as part of FFP so let's say 25-million'ish per season.._________________

You know, it is kind of like a billion dollar resort island being built in UAE. I also heard it might count towards FFP...

Do you ever stop trolling?

You're really going to compare kit sponsorships that all clubs basically have to a resort island that is one of its kind?

See now this I agree is a joke. I'm sure Platinis pockets won't mind though.

I've been reading from different comments that FFP is just a scheme so that UEFA can get a paycheck from all money these clubs are making/putting in to.

But, this is unfortunately the business side of things from sports.

Well there are still in the talks. Maybe they will try to find a way around it?_________________

Yes. Because it is as much of a joke when a third party incurs all the expenses but Real Madrid gets to claim any income as their own.

Every club has a sponsor on their kit. Some gain more than others. But for a club to gain 100 MILLION euros PER YEAR. Not that is unheard of.

If you guys want to have a dig at the resort island still. Go right ahead. But, it will only look like jealousy in the end. Real Madrid is AHEAD of the curve in trying to increase revenue that is outside of the normal way. Lending the name/rights to Real Madrid C.F. to a resort island that these people wanted to built anyways is simply Perez showing how he's a boss._________________
